It is now the time to get involved with Greenwood High School’s latest fund-raising event, Dance Little Red. This event will be held in the Greenwood High School Gymnasium from 6-9 p.m. on March 10. The night will be full of exciting dancing, games, crafts, and food, which will all be supporting a good cause.

Dance Little Red is a branch of Dance Big Red with a shared focus to support pediatric cardiology and adolescent oncology.  This is a student-led fund-raising event that will be benefiting the Children’s Hospital Foundation.

The foundation exclusively raises funds to support programs, equipment, facilities, research, advocacy and education at Norton Children’s Hospital, Norton Children’s Medical Center, and Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital (all previously known as Kosair Children’s Hospital). It also is the philanthropic arm for Norton Children’s Hospital, Kentucky’s only full-service, free-standing hospital created “Just for Kids.”

This Children’s Hospital is a non-profit organization and depends on the generosity of the surrounding communities to support their hospital’s life. This is why each donation is individually vital to each child’s progress at the hospital. They are home to the only pediatric heart transplant program in Kentucky and also home to one of the country’s largest sickle cell anemia treatment programs.

Norton Children’s has a clinical staff that is trained to provide the special kind of care children need and deserve. This is a highly qualified children’s hospital and offers nothing less than the best care possible for all of their patients.

Along with the fun experience at Dance Little Red and the helpful contribution you have made, all participant will receive a Dance Little Red t-shirt. The cost to register for this beneficial event is only $10. Once you have registered you will receive your own personal fundraising page to help you with surpassing the fundraising goal of $25. However, the overall goal of Dance Little Red is $5,000.
